PhD Position in Perovskite Solar Cells: Investigating Ion Migration
3 weken geleden
AMOLF is seeking a highly motivated PhD candidate to join our Hybrid Solar Cell Group. The successful candidate will investigate the stability of perovskite solar cells by controlling ion migration. This project is part of the national consortium SolarNL, which aims to develop an industry capable of producing solar cells, solar modules, and integrated solar PV solutions.
Work ActivitiesThe PhD candidate will identify ways to make perovskite solar cells more stable by controlling ion migration. This will involve combining measurements of ion motion in the frequency and time domain with a variation of device and material parameters and external pressure. The candidate will also use drift-diffusion simulations to understand on the microscopic level how the ions move. With this knowledge, we can predict new materials with reduced ion migration, leading to much more stable solar cells.
QualificationsWe invite applications from highly motivated candidates with a strong background in physics, chemistry, materials science, or engineering, and a keen interest in solar cells. We especially encourage individuals from underrepresented groups to apply. Prospective PhD candidates must hold an MSc degree or equivalent qualification.
Work EnvironmentThe Hybrid Solar Cell Group focuses on ion migration in perovskite solar cells and related devices. Our research seeks to understand the unique characteristics of metal halide perovskite materials, which combine efficient ion motion with excellent semiconductor properties. In solar cells, we aim to control ion migration, while in other devices, such as those for neuromorphic computing, we seek to leverage their unique properties.
Working Conditions- The working atmosphere at the institute is largely determined by young, enthusiastic, mostly non-Dutch employees. Communication is informal and runs through short lines of communication.
- The position is intended as full-time (40 hours / week, 12 months / year) appointment in the service of the Netherlands Foundation of Scientific Research Institutes (NWO-I) for the duration of four years.
- The starting salary is 2.781 Euros gross per month and a range of employment benefits.
- After successful completion of the PhD research, a PhD degree will be granted at a Dutch University.
- Several courses are offered, specially developed for PhD-students.
- AMOLF assists any new foreign PhD-student with housing and visa applications and compensates their transport costs and furnishing expenses.
